RUGBY UNION

WORLD champions New Zealand and first-time opponents Georgia are on Wales’ 2017 autumn Test schedule. The Welsh Rugby Union also confirmed Principality Stadium appointments with Australia and South Africa. Wales host the Aussies on November 11, followed by Georgia seven days later, then the All-blacks (above) on November 25, and South Africa on December 2. They will have head coach Warren Gatland back at the helm by then, following British & Irish Lions duty.
